Potential Consequences

In addition to spending time in jail, it is important to understand everything that is at stake in your case. The impact a criminal record can have on your life is tremendous. You may be unable to get a job, rent an apartment, or you may lose your right to drive. Also, the court may order the forfeiture of assets that were involved in your case. If you were selling drugs out of your car or growing marijuana in your home, you may lose them if you are convicted. A strong defense can make all the difference when facing drug charges.

Medical Marijuana

In some cases, people who believe they have a legal right to possess or sell marijuana for medicinal purposes may find themselves accused of a crime. Your status as an approved caregiver or patient may be the difference between guilt and innocence. We know the law and can help you defend yourself under applicable medical marijuana provisions.
